Fined for Making an Appeal.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN:
notice In the Post Of the 2lst instant o
statement that one Jacob jacobson was
fined in the police court $50, and on appeal
to the criminal court, "Judge Montgomery
in consideration Of the additional cost i'm
posed on the District by the appeal in-
creased the fine TO $75." 1t is due to the
credit of the bench that this statement be
denied. There is no element Of civil lib
erty tdearer to the Anglo,Saxon than that
which is embedded In the declaration that
our courts shall stand open, where justice
shall be administered without sale, denial,
or delay. The report referred to places
Judge Montgomery in the light Of haying
imposed a fine Of S25 on the defendant as
punishment for having exercised the con.
stitutional right Of appeal. In the name OF
common judicial decency protest against
! this statement
II Judge Montgomery did this thing he
has disgraced the position which he holds.
| KENT.
WASHINGTON, July 81.
AN EXPLANATION.
Judge Montgomery's attention was called
to the above last evening, and IN reply.to
request for an explanation Of the facts in
the case said {:
"At the time jacobson was sentenced the
court took special occasion to say to him
| that there was no disposition to punish him
for having exercised the right which he
had to appeal to the upper court. That,
| on the contrary, appeals that were taken In
| good faith and for the purpose Of vlndica-
| ton were rather to be encouraged. But the
fact remains that he had been convicted
In the court below; had taken his appeal
had had q fair trial, and had again been
| convicted In the appellate court.
In other words, 1t had been judlcally
finally ascertained that he had committed
the oifense with which he stood charged,
and that the court must act upon the as
sumption that he was guilty. Under all
the circumstances, therefore, 1t was thought
not unfair to require the defendant to pay,
In addition to the fine imposed below, a
portion of the costs which had been in
CURED In finally determining his guilt.
SIT is not unusual to punish parties to
civil as well as criminal suits for vexatious
appeals or appeals taken merely for the
purpose Of delay. This was not deemed to
be one OF those cases, but rather a case
where the defendant, notwithstanding the
fact that he was actually guilty, as finally
determined, had nevertheless compelled
the fact to be ascertained at considerable
expense to the public. In view Of these
and in view Of oil the circumstances, the
fine Of $75 which was imposed was regarded
as not excessive"
